The Campillo Blanco Fermentado en Barrica 2024 is impressive proof of how skilfully white wine and wooden barrels can come together in Rioja. Produced by the traditional Bodegas Campillo winery, which belongs to the renowned Grupo Faustino, this wine comes from carefully selected plots in Rioja Alavesa - one of the highest and coolest regions within the appellation. The climatic conditions and calcareous clay soils ensure particularly aromatic and balanced grapes.

Viura - the classic white grape variety of Rioja - is mainly used for this characterful white wine. After careful harvesting, fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, in which the wine also matures for several months on the fine lees. This vinification gives the wine structure, depth and a harmonious woody flavour without masking its freshness and elegance. The 2024 vintage once again demonstrates the house's stylistic signature: balanced, full of finesse and a modern interpretation.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the wine presents itself in a light straw yellow colour with golden reflections. The bouquet is complex and elegant with aromas of ripe apple, citrus fruit, vanilla and roasted almonds, accompanied by fine floral notes and a hint of buttery biscuits. It is smooth and full-bodied on the palate, with well-integrated oak notes, fresh acidity and a creamy texture. The finish is long and lingering, with notes of citrus zest, toasted wood and a subtle minerality.

An ideal accompaniment to grilled fish, roast poultry, seafood, risotto with saffron or mature goat's cheese. It also reveals its full potential with vegetarian dishes with nut butter, mushrooms or roasted vegetables. Served at 10-12 °C, the Campillo Blanco Fermentado en Barrica is at its best.
